New Zealand has been given the task of editing the Codex guide on processing Cephalopods. This requires the use of HACCP based principles to give people a guide on how to safely process squid, octopus, etc.

We have heard that there can be a potential problem of high cadmium levels in the gut of these species and if frozen with gut in-situ the cadmium migrates to the flesh.

Is anyone aware of any information or facts on this matter.

Thanks for any help that you can give me
